If the SCons programmer specified a preference for static or dynamic, would it 
have to do a manual search of LIBPATH for "$LIBPREFIX<library>$LIBSUFFIX" 
(adjusted for a couple complications) and pass that file path directly, and 
just eschew "-lfoo" entirely even on GCC?

(Note that I guess this search already happens for dependency/out-of-dateness 
checking anyway.)
